Our commission:
“
Develop, for Council consideration, diverse housing policy options designed to expand the range of housing (including rental and owned) available in Edmonds irrespective of age, gender, race, religious affiliation, physical disability, or sexual orientation.”
For 18 months, two dozen Edmonds residents, selected by city council, listened to the public, researched housing issues, investigated future needs and worked as a team, with public input, to create those “options.”
The housing commission sought more public input than any other Edmonds commission:
Four open houses – one in person, three online (COVID curtailed our ability to meet in person)

Edmonds City Council candidate Will Chen speaks to supporters via Zoom Thursday night.
Will Chen officially jumped into the race for Edmonds City Council Position 2 on Thursday evening with a virtual kickoff event. Chen’s entry means the Position 2 contest is now at least a three-way race, pitting him against local business owner Janelle Cass and incumbent Luke Distelhorst, appointed last year to fill out the remaining term of now-Mayor Mike Nelson.
The deadline to file for a city council position is May 21, with the primary election set for Aug. 3 and the genearl election Nov. 2.

The Edmonds City Council, city staff and Mayor Mike Nelson listen Tuesday night to residents’ testimony on the draft tree code.
The Edmonds City Council Tuesday night held a public hearing on draft tree regulations and took another look at a proposed ordinance that would allow hotels as a permitted use on the city’s waterfront but didn’t make a decision on either item.
The proposed code aims to improve tree retention with new development on private property. It would also implement low-impact development principles, would establish a tree fund into which development contributions or tree penalties can be tracked with the proceeds spent on tree planting and preservation and provide updates to definitions, the city’s existing permitting process and the penalties for tree cutting.

As the Edmonds Citizens Housing Commission concludes this Thursday, the Alliance of Citizens for Edmonds (ACE) thanks the Commissioners and alternate Commissioners, for volunteering their time, committing to this aspirational process. Understandably, the process was made more difficult for all involved due to Covid-19 restrictions, mandating virtual meetings and eliminating the original promise of neighborhood meetings throughout all of Edmonds.
The Commission did, however, offer one in-person Open House and survey before Covid restrictions, followed by 3 more surveys combined with 3 prerecorded virtual Open House viewing options and one Zoom Webinar. ACE followed with optimism and high hopes this 16-month process. However, we are concerned that input the Commission received at each public engagement touchpoint, in the form of hundreds of questions, comments, emails and feedback from local folks, was disregarded.
